The family of fallen army General Elly Tumwine has asked the deceased friends and well wishers to contribute money and buy a plane that will help in flying the Widow to travel to upcountry to check on the cattle.
During a funeral vigil at the deceased family in Nakaseero n Sunday, Tumwine’s foster daughter, Edinah Tumwine disclosed that the deceased children (biological and those he had taken care of) have had plans to buy for him a plane to ease his transportation to the village. She thus asked the family, friends and well-wishers of departed fallen NRA bush war hero not to give up on the arrangements but rather to mobilize funds and buy a chopper for the widow.
She said the chopper will enable the widow (Aunt Joy) as she preferred to her, to routinely fly to their ancestral home Kazo and check on check on her late husband’s property including cows.
“For all the things late Uncle Elly did and has been doing amongst many different people, let’s mobilze funds and purchase a chopper for our Auntie Jolly (Widow) such that she can always fly to Kazo and check on cows. I know all of you are capable, you are driving nice cars with beautiful wives, so let’s join hands. But in case you refuse, I shall buy it myself…” she said while delivering her speech.
Late General Tumwine will be laid to rest tomorrow Tuesday August 30th, 2022 at his ancestral home in Rwemikooma village Kazo district
